Happy Homemaker Monday...

The weather in my neck of the woods: Still over 100 degrees. It is fall,right??

One of my simple pleasures: An afternoon nap - :)

On my bedside table: I am almost done with 'Twilight'.

On my TV: news

On the menu for tonight: spaghetti, salad

On my to do list: laundry, take snack to church for LM's religion class today, work

New recipe I tried last week: nothing

In the craft basket: nothing

Looking forward to:LM has fall break next week (already)

Homemaking tip of the week: Don't forget to have the kids pitch in. They love to help and it really makes your job a bit smaller.

Favorite Blog post of the week (mine or other):This one by the Entertaining Mom. Just a reminder to us all that if we cannot resist the temptation that we should leave our phones in the car when taking our kids to the playground. :)

Favorite photo of the week:

LM was taking Christmas card photos for her sextuplets. Never too early (wonder where she gets that). "It was crazy getting them to pose for this" she says.

I have opened a shop at Society 6. I am super excited to share some of these fun holiday items with you! There are pillows and prints and canvas and travel mugs. Even clocks! Head over and take a look. I'd love to hear your feedback too.

I'm also open to your ideas - I have a bunch swirling around in my head but I love to hear what other people think and would like to see. I can do custom items too. Or just switch out colors to match your decor.

These items make really fun and unique gifts. And did I mention the free shipping?

I've ordered a few things from Society 6 in the past and have been happy with the quality and I'm sure you will be too.
